Niacinamide for Indian skin: the do-everything molecule
Niacinamide regulates sebum, fades pigmentation, strengthens barrier, and rarely irritates. It's the safest first active.
Use 5% concentration. 10% is overkill and can trigger flushing. Pair with vitamin C in AM, retinol in PM (newer research debunks the old 'don't mix' rule).
Expect: less oil in 2 weeks, even tone in 6 weeks, stronger barrier in 4 weeks.
